Three of my favorite things! I wouldn't be without a microwave.

After reading these lists, it seems that I use many of the things
other people find useless, inluding the garlic press.

I never had an electric can opener, but since they started putting
pull-tops on cat food, I don't use my Swingaway as much either.

I have drawers full of gadgets! None very expensive though. I have
resisted the Eggstractor.
